I cannot support this article with regards to Monsantos and GMO crops. If you really want sustainable give more thought to the issues around honey bee populations declining along with other pollinators. And now the monarch butterfly is in decline due to milkthissle plants being killed off by herbicides and other chemicals used as a direct result of crops from Monsantos and GMO plants. Leave nature alone eat food and grow cotton and hemp for fiber without the use of GMO. Sustainable living is not hard and shouldn’t take a lot of thinking to understand that when we continue to mess with the way God intended things the more messed up we will be.

Even the best seeds of perennial grains are much smaller than seeds from today's highly developed annual grain crops.

Wed, 25 May 2011 19:08:40 +0000http://eartheasy.com/blog/?p=2820#comment-29538Couldn't they have used a method such as taking the seeds of the high end perennial crops, dug up the less high-yield crops and replanted these?

It would've had the same effect as the annual crops did, though it would be more costly.
